Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 , thanks for taking the time to let us know you're going to surgery tomorrow morning. I wish for you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. That was indeed fast and I know you'll be glad to have it behind you. This is the kind of thing that's easier to look back on than to look forward too. Hope to hear some good new from you soon. Maggie Alabama Start the year off right.
